ohh sorry i did not say that i am from sweden.

it might be that they call them other in the states but it is a accord type-r

oh ok, yea the usa gets shafted and we dont get a type R, do you know the specs on the car so i can try to help you out a little more?

phew, lucky you said you were from sweden. otherwise if you were in the states we would have to make fun of you for
A: ) buying a car beliveing it was faster because it had fake badging
B: ) putting fake badging on your car beliving it made it faster
C: ) both. buyig a car with fake badging and adding more.

but otherwise i dont know what to do. all i know of around here are FAKE type r's

you would need to find your engine code and find the parts specific to your engine.

somebody tested the apexi ***** controller?

fusion04 · 04-30-2003, 05:10 AM

ive heard good things about the apexi VAFC, BUT a lot of people said its the last thing you should get after you have all (or most) of hte mods you intend to do.

Hej, krabban. Its going to be kinda hard to find parts becouse i think that motor was never brought to usa. I live in sweden now but im from california origanally and i would buy a accord typeR if i had the money. Get the engine code and then you can go from there. Where do you live, what city?

cool. i live in the boring town malmö..

hmm so you think that there is not so much to this engine becouse it never has come over water to you guys in the states,.. kinda boring?.

I live near Jönköping. Check the engine code becouse i could be wrong, there could be some stuff for your car but what do you want? You could always get a intake, header and exaust probably.

AccordSleeper · 04-30-2003, 05:51 AM

look in the prelude forum for info, since the motor he has is a H22 Type-S.

you could get a prelude cai intake, but definetly keep the stock header. there will be no exhaust for that car available to any of us in the US since an accord in japan and europe is not the same anymore. so you'll have to look for that in your neck of the woods.
